Abstract

The present work shows the fabrication of a printed RFID label using large-area printing processes, such as roto-screen and stencil printing, and the integration with advanced assembly methods of CMOS-based humidity and temperature sensors. The fabrication of the antenna and the PCB on flexible plastic substrates (i.e. polyethylene terephthalate - PET) was performed by means of roto-screen printing in combination with flash photonic sintering. This allows a high thermal transfer to the printed material, which is necessary for its sintering, while preserving the delicate polymeric substrate. Cost-effective and low temperature methods are also developed for the assembling of the components onto polymeric substrates. The electrical interconnections were stencil-printed with isotropic conductive adhesives by using laser-ablated stencil masks on polymer foils. Additionally, the label incorporates an RF remotely rechargeable thin film battery which is used for data logging. Finally, the roto-screen printing of copper oxide patterns and their reduction to copper by means of a Xenon flash photonic process is presented.

Printed electronics

Printed electronics is a set of printing methods used to create electrical devices on various substrates. Printing typically uses common printing equipment suitable for defining patterns on material, such as screen printing, flexography, gravure, offset lithography, and inkjet. By electronic-industry standards, these are low-cost processes. Electrically functional electronic or optical inks are deposited on the substrate, creating active or passive devices, such as thin film transistors; capacitors; coils; resistors.

Screen printing

Screen printing is a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink (or dye) onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed.

Printing

Printing is a process for mass reproducing text and images using a master form or template. The earliest non-paper products involving printing include cylinder seals and objects such as the Cyrus Cylinder and the Cylinders of Nabonidus. The earliest known form of printing as applied to paper was woodblock printing, which appeared in China before 220 AD for cloth printing. However, it would not be applied to paper until the seventh century.
